    Nobody died...not even a turkey.

    Or just buy a big fat butterball of a domestic turkey that tastes much better. Now cue up the responses...."you just don't know how to prepare it" and/or "it has a wonderful nutty wild natural flavor" (described by non-wild turkey devotees as "nasty gamey tasting meat with a texture similar to...

    Nobody died...not even a turkey.

    Had a hunting buddy in high school who was shot by a member of his own family while deer hunting. Was wearing hunter orange vest and hat. Collapsed lung that required emergency surgery. The ER physicians considered it a miracle he survived and partially credited it to the fact that he was shot...

    Doorbell Cameras

    We've had wired doorbell Ring cameras for many years. Upgraded to current models because picture clarity and features just kept getting better and better. Reaction time via wifi to phone has considerably improved as well. We have three wired Ring exterior floodlight cameras, and an interior...

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    Regarding anaerobic zone training; I've found cycling road or trail routes with many 'blippy' steep but relatively short climbs make it much easier to inherently incorporate intervals of high intensity effort....got to get up that hill to be rewarded by a downhill. Much more user friendly than...

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    I've watched many years of my routine bloodwork creatine levels slowly decline; I'm going to give creatine a shot. I try to be very active in terms of exercise and (other than being 74) don't have any health issues. Hopefully it will help with my anaerobic zone training, which I tend to...

    Did you or your wife observe any muscle water retention after initiating creatine supplementation? And, did you initiate with creatine 'loading' approach or utilize the 3-5 gram daily maintenance dosage?

    Dismantling of the USFS

    When public lands and environmental regulatory control are relinquished to local control the easier it is for monied interests to push short-term perspectives on ownership and use. For example; without the federal mandate for pollution control via the Clean Water Act municipalities and industry...

    WDFW Digital license

    Don't worry...the WDFW officer can simply look up your actual license status on his vehicle computer....if they have cell coverage! And, at worst (assuming you have no outstanding bench warrants), you'll probably be able to explain the situation to the judge! 😳 I went with paper this year, and...

    Stink bug in the car yesterday

    Smash 'em! Free car air freshener! No one will even be able to detect the vehicle's previous fart, whiskey, and cigar stench.

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    Between working out on my Concept 2 rower, a recumbent bike trainer, and regularly hiking very hilly 5 mile route, I've found that my fatbike (Salsa Heyday) gives me an intense high aerobic workout when ridden for an hour or two (and makes riding any of my other bikes feel like roadbikes)...

    Excellent suggestion! A good bike dealer is like a good flyshop...they want to provide useful advice (like fit and function) so they can create an addiction to a fulfilling activity and develop a long-term customer. Many good bike shops have serviceable used trade in bikes as well as bikes...

    Polygon makes fine bikes...and so does Salsa (I've got a Salsa Heyday fatbike). Salsa is under the same corporate ownership as Surly. Bikes are like RVs and automobiles when it comes to instant depreciation....especially now with the post covid over-production glut sitting at dealers and in...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    You rode MTBs in the very birthplace of mountainbiking! My worst crash didn't occur on a MTB, but rather on roadbike during a hard lean into a downhill curve with a patch of black ice hidden in the January shadows; woke up, feet still in the toe clips, blood streaming down the side of my face...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Good on you! I've got a couple of scars on old MTBs that I'd never repaint because every one of them was honorably earned while riding....sort gives them 'street-cred' and brings back good memories, much the way old flyfishing gear does!
